Zanu PF Activists Cut Down to Size at Great Zimbabwe University
MASVINGO – Members of the Zanu PF women’s and youth leagues recently got the
shock of their lives after they were chased away from the Great Zimbabwe
University graduation for showing up at the ceremony in party regalia. The
angry supporters were escorted out of the university campus by security
personnel who told them that the graduation was not a party event.
Chaos broke out after the supporters started toyi-toying and chanting Zanu
PF slogans, accusing the security details of being MDC supporters.
The frustrated women led by self-styled war collaborator and special
interest Masvingo urban councillor Namatai Chivhanga then resorted to
insulting the security details accusing them of being “MDC people”.
“We do not understand why these MDC people are sending us away because we
are wearing this regalia to welcome our party president Cde Mugabe,” she
said.
However, the guards remained unfazed saying the graduation ceremony was not
a Zanu PF rally.
Zanu PF provincial chairman, Lovemore Matuke was fuming after the fracas.
“I don’t see anything wrong with my comrades putting on our regalia because
we are here to meet our president who is the first secretary of Zanu PF and
the Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces,” he said.
“Since he is the commander, does it mean that soldiers here should take off
their uniforms? These guys are just crazy.”
Mugabe is the chancellor of all state universities that include Great
Zimbabwe University.
